flutter doesnt come from the intercooler. flutter comes from the bov being too tight or not having one and the air goes back and hits the turbo blades and gets chopped. the intercooler will make it echo more but wont make the flutter noise by itself

i just recently installed as 600x76x300 intercooler on ma car yesterday i took it out for a test spin everything goes fine but how come i dont get a flutter noise i hear wen other people put on intercoolers ?

Just block the black hose that run from your BOV back into the intake ( not the tiny vacum one ) then it'll give you heaps of flutter.

Only flutter I've heard is on a VL that didn't have a BOV.

Wastegates are used to control boost on the exhaust side. And they don't flutter. If they are not redirected back in to the exhaust they are known as screamer pipes as that is what they do.. Scream!

Having no bov on a VL running no IC and std boost is fine. Once you begin to fit intercoolers and up the boost their is more air in the system which needs to be vented some where otherwise it will eventually cause damage from stalling the turbo when you lift off the throttle.

yea, i don't see why a wastegate would have anything to do with fluttering.

I think you need new tyres and maybe a new bodykit, neons too, that should do the trick (only kidding :) )

Aren't there some BOV's out there that actually do their job AND make a flutter noise (the release of air into atmosphere, not back pressure)?

Those are usually the adjustable type BOV's where the owner/workshop has tightened the BOV so that it will remain shut until higher boost is attained, therefore 'fluttering' at lower rev's and venting the air at higher revs.

just put a metal plate in the wastegate and take it 4 a drive and u will have flutter just open the two bolts and slide the metal in therefore blocking the air and making it return out the air filter

And the award for most insane post of the year goes too...... :)

If you block the wastegate your turbo will have no boost limit, and bye bye turbo.

      @soviet_merlin Thanks mate!  Nothing too major but will hold me up for a while. I've got lymphomas to get taken off the back of my neck and the middle of my spine which always conjures scary thoughts!  It sounds worse than it is. Yeah great, conjuring more rabbit hole deepening , just what I need! 🤣

      I'd argue the F50 kit I got is very good value. For ~2k I got the calipers (refurbed condition), adapters, pads, brake lines, rotors, and top hats. I think you'd be pretty hard to get Evo/GTR/350z brembos + the additional hardware for similar money. Used market for a pair of front calipers alone I've seen tend to run anywhere from $1500-2000 depending on condition.    That said, something like a GTR or 350z brembo is a lot easier to adapt to the Silvia.

      Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.

      I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).

      As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
